With only a fraction of what the enemy could throw, Corraile forces fell back to the stronghold of Fairport, the large city to the south of the island. The plan was to stock up and mount a forceful counterattack.
Also, to lure the enemy in, more troops were sent back up north to Freedo.
Intending to ambush the Corraile forces at Fairport, General Thomas Durman of the Fairman Island Expeditionary Force decided to move into position at night.
Little did he know his forward troops, along with most of their equipment, would be the ambushed.
Who ambushed them? The CNV Burnley, an AEGIS-equipped battlecruiser, who had received a tipoff about the advance and left the Fairport Naval Base to eliminate the threat.
Fighting was inevitable, though, and in the next morning, the rest of the attacking forces met up with Corraile forces, who managed to stop their advance. At least for now.
With fewer weapons and troops, it was surprising that the battle had ended in a stalemate. With that, both forces ceased fighting for the day.
